+Subject: [PATCH] tpm: correct tpm timeouts to jiffies conversion
+Patch-mainline: 2.6.28
+References: bnc#425747 FATE304221
+
+This patch fixes timeouts conversion to jiffies, by replacing
+msecs_to_jiffies() calls with usecs_to_jiffies(). According to TCG TPM
+Specification Version 1.2 Revision 103 (pages 166, 167) TPM timeouts and
+durations are returned in microseconds (usec) not in miliseconds (msec).
+
+This fixes a long hang while loading TPM driver, if TPM chip starts in
+"Idle" state instead of "Ready" state. Without this patch - 'modprobe'
+may hang for 30 seconds or more.
